Random Ramblings....

My mom makes up mnemonic devices or word associations to remember people's names and still gets them wrong. If I say that I have a friend named Jeremy, my mom will say "How's Laramie?"

These Are My Confessions....

 Hey y'all. I have been busy getting my life so hard lately. That's gonna be my new motto:

"Get yo life so hard."

Well, that and "All Gold Everything." (Just kidding, I hate that song. But I sing it when I hear it.)

Leap of Faith

I have been described as animated, impetuous, talkative, tactless, and forthright

but I have never been described as stagnant....

Love and Kindness

As I've been furiously writing in my journal about my goals, hopes and accomplishments for the upcoming year, I have been reflecting on the past year of my life.

Imitation of Life

(I couldn't decide what to wear to church so I took pics to decide. Which do you prefer?)

People get on the internet and start thinking that they winning.

What they fail to realize is that the internet is NOT REAL LIFE.

The Sweet Life

 

Went to Houston over the weekend and got my life. I'm still recuperating...

Mike Jones

 My love life goes through cycles. Right now I'm in what I like to call the "Mike Jones cycle."

To Do List:

Things on my To Do List:

Growth Spurt

I have been trying to get my head wrapped around a lot of things that have happened in the past two weeks. I guess the recurring theme is that people are fallible. We all mess up, we make mistakes, we act out when we feel vulnerable or afraid and we sometimes hurt people that we care about.

In The Fashionista's Closet: Pete and Repeat (2 Outfit Posts)

Running errands outfit, planned on doing lots of walking so I needed *gasp* flats, lol. I do wear flats more often in my real life lately, some days call for flats.

Tx Style Council In Review: Part Uno

I met up with the Louise to my Thelma (I'm Thelma because Thelma got to sleep with Brad Pitt in the movie but he was cute Brad Pitt back then, not the sad, rundown looking Brad Pitt that he is today. That dang Angelina and her bushel of offspring got him looking all sorts of haggard. But I digress...) and we sashayed our way to Austin to attend the Tx Style Council Bloggers Conference.

Wearing my complimentary bracelets c/o In Pink. I was looking for them to thank them but couldn't find them in the crush of people.

We attended the Posh Party on Saturday night hosted by Poshmark.

(Reiko, Rocquelle of Consider Me Lovely and me)

I was giddy to be in the same city as my ultimate crush, Shawn Corey Carter aka Jay-Z, he was in town to perform at SXSW. I was hoping to run into him at some obsecure out of the way place but no haps. Reiko thinks that it's weird that I know his middle name, is that weird? I just think you need to know the people that you have crushes on, that's all.

Spinning the wheel at the Lulu's table 

I met some cool peeps, hung out with some cool peeps that I met last year and made the most of the chilly, rainy weather that descended on Austin and had me scrambling to put together an outfit that would not have my catching the pneumonia. Yes. The pneumonia.

Tee shirt: Target

Moto Jacket: Target

Skirt: H&M

I.love.this.skirt.period. The metallic-y-ness (Yes I know that's not a word.) The pleated-ness. (Again, I know.) The silver lamè-ness of it all. (Can't wait to style it differently.)

Me doing what I do. Reiko is used to my antics now...

Me, Kyla of Blue Collar Catwalk and Sarah.

(Sarah I lost your card to link your blog, please let me know the name of it!)

I will be discussing my impressions of the conference, Texas Style Council and other conversations/topics that I felt should could have been addressed at the conference in a future post. Stay tuned.....

Four Eyes

Finally got my new specs. I love'em.  Ray Ban RB 5199 in case you're interested. But now I want the brown ones as well......

(Sweater from h&m)

The following exchange really happened. No lie.

Teacher: We are going to finish watching the video on Asia that we started yesterday.

Student: Who is Asia?

Teacher: What do you mean, who is Asia?

Student: Oooooooooohhhhh I thought you meant a person. I wasn't here yesterday so I didn't know that you meant Asia the state.
